Laura Bush and the Pope.
How a lady of class dresses to meet the Pontiff.
(Gosh, I miss Laura!)

Pope Benedict gave US President Barack Obama a surprise gift of the Vatican bioethics document "Dignitatis Personae," and discussed the ethics of abortion and embryo research in their first meeting in Rome this afternoon.
A Vatican statement has said that in their private discussion, the pope addressed issues of "the defense and promotion of life and the right to abide by one's conscience."
At the customary exchange of gifts, Obama presented Pope Benedict with a relic - a stole that had been draped over the body of the US's most popular Catholic saints, St. John Neumann, Bishop of Philadelphia from1852 to 1860. The pope also offered the president religious medals and rosaries, as well as a copy of his latest encyclical, signed this week, "Caritas in Veritate."

“Obama told the Pope of his commitment to reduce the number of abortions and of his attention and respect for the positions of the Catholic Church.”
He lied to the Pope...he has no intentions of upholding this committment nor does he have any respect for our positions. What the heck is Michelle wearing in that photo?...she always looks horrible whatever she is wearing. Just my honest opinion...
Looks like a contractor sized Hefty garbage bag with a belt. Is she in mourning or something?
At least she is dressed conservatively and appropriately. This is a new thing in itself.
Sorry — here are the links for those pictures — I hate it when this happens.
If you put those links into the browser the photos will appear.
Thanks for the links.
It’s funny, isn’t it? The neo ultra hip liberal Democratic Presidents are now sporting wives that resemble either linebackers or rhinocerouses; Laura Bush was a more than class act.
